The blend of Swedish restraint and Bahian charm gives Barracuda a disarmingly unpretentious warmth. The views? Jungle and ocean. The energy? Still, but never fully still. A few days at Barracuda is enough to reset your pace entirely.

Local materials and craft define the design, from timber beams to hand-thrown ceramics. Days are slow and generous: yoga at sunrise, hikes into the Atlantic Forest, private dinners prepared with what’s best from the fishermen that morning. The sense of community runs deep. The Barracuda ‘tribe’ includes everyone from your surf instructor to your chef, and they’re all proud to share their patch of Bahia with you.
